How about some pics of 88-98 Part II - Page 39 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

swiftyschevys · 12-11-2014, 01:39 PM

Red one is 91 350, black one is 93, the only 4x4 he ever owned which is the one pulling the boat was a 93 but was only to pull his 27 ft. baja. These are the only ones I've found pictures of so far, but many more to come. This was the early 90's so the pin striping and weld wheels were all that then. But as always he did the bell tech 3/4 drop. And the last photo is of my grandfathers 1936 cabriolet with the rumble seat, 350 crate motor, street rodded from front to back in his garage over a year. Just one of his many restored/street rods he was put in magazines for. (thats me in the seat)

As you can see my passion for cars has come from him, and his life was cars, and he was my life, so his unexpected passing in october has driven me to share his passions with others who do as well. Thanks for reading and glad I joined this forum. Look forward to meeting some guys.

Dang, your grandfather had some good taste in cars/trucks. Good looking truck man

Cape Codder · 12-19-2014, 11:29 PM

I love the two tone look,and the colors. What did you do to lower it? I have a 98 RCSB and have lowered the rear 2 " but would like to go a little lower. I would rather not notch the frame, and don't want it down to low for a daily driver. Yours sits nice.

Mdewig1995 · 12-19-2014, 11:44 PM

It is lowered 5 in front using 3 lower control arms and 2 springs and back is 6 with flip kit and notch it was lowered when my dad bought it new in 95 and was a daily up till 7 years ago and thanks I just painted it a year ago this month

Well, I haven't been on here in MONTHS, so I guess it's time to show off my most recent score. '96 Silverado, light-duty 6-lug C2500. Bought it for $400 locally, about 4 miles from my house, a little over a month ago. Bought it with late-model steel 17s, bald 265-70 tires, and a bad 4L60-E transmission. Has 275K on the odometer, engine is a replacement.

NOW fast forward a few weeks. Now has a 4L80-E in it from a '99, steel 16" wagon-style wheels with 235/85 E rated 10 Ply tires on all four corners, new upper ball joints, and she runs like a champ.

Daaamn. I'm usually not a fan of interchanging bodystyles (like 88-98 beds on 67-72 trucks), but this is Dually with the HD hood is sick!

That dually is killer!

Gearhead: Welcome aboard, Looks like a lot of hours in the hood mods. A nice blend of older and newer.

I'm thinking about updating my factory blue interior with blue leather with charcoal inserts and charcoal accents on door panels opinions

If you want a contemporary look,, stay with a single color. Go with charcoal and use solid with perforated inserts.

Basically skinned the 08 hood and welded it on an 92 hood.i had to split the front in three places so it would lay back like i wanted it to. My buddy was a paint and body guy for 20 years so he helped me out.

Amazing work! Ever since I saw that dually I've been wanting to have one made. That was even before I had an 88-98 to put it on.

Nice work. It is so nice to see old school customizing is still alive and well. Much nicer than the cowl hood bolt on that that is so popular. The rise in the front is also a throw back to the 67/72 style hood. I wonder if my brother would miss the hood on his HD.
